oszacowuje

Oszacowuje is a Polish verb form, specifically the third person singular present indicative of the imperfective verb oszacowywać, which means to estimate, assess or appraise. It denotes an ongoing or habitual act of estimation rather than a completed estimate.

The form oszacowuje is typically used to describe someone who is currently estimating values, costs, times, risks or other quantities. It is part of the broader verb family around szacować/oszacować, and contrasts with the perfective oszacować, whose third person present form is oszacuje and which emphasizes a completed or imminent estimation rather than process.

Usage examples include: On oszacowuje koszty projektu. (He is estimating the project costs.) Firma oszacowuje ryzyko związane z inwestycją. (The company estimates the risk associated with the investment.) In academic, business and public contexts, oszacowuje appears in discussions of budgeting, planning, risk assessment and feasibility studies, where estimation is an ongoing step in analysis or decision making.

Etymology and related forms: oszacowuje derives from the verb szacować with the prefix o-, forming the imperfective aspect oszacowywać (to estimate, to assess). Related forms include oszacuję, oszacujesz, oszacujemy (I will estimate, you will estimate, we will estimate) and the perfective oszacować (to estimate, to determine).
